The school law of the State of Missouri requires that the school enumeration be taken each year. The information required In this enumeration ts the names of all children over six and under twenty, "designating male and female, age of each, date of birth and full name of parent or guardian of each child enumerated."Some people might ask why this enumeration is required each year and what the importance of it is. To some it might seem as if these boys and girls are quite a nuisance when they call to obtain this Information. The taking of enumeration is important because the apportionment of certain school funds is based on school enumeration. Therefore it Is important that we enumerate every person over six and under twenty years of age. SERVICES CONDUCTED FOR MRS. OTTO HAFNER Mr. and Mrs. Win. F.

Spurgeon Beginning next Monday the Citizenship Class will start out to take the school enumeration. They will call at every home in the Owens-vill School district. The school law of the State of Missouri requires that the school enumeration be taken each year. The information required In this enumeration ts the names of all children over six and under twenty, "designating male and female, age of each, date of birth and full name of parent or guardian of each child enumerated."Some people might ask why this enumeration is required each year and what the importance of it is. To some it might seem as if these boys and girls are quite a nuisance when they call to obtain this Information. The taking of enumeration is important because the apportionment of certain school funds is based on school enumeration. Therefore it Is important that we enumerate every person over six and under twenty years of age. SERVICES CONDUCTED FOR MRS. OTTO HAFNER Mr. and Mrs. Win. F.
